Oh man, this is beautiful right now. Still has a rich medium ruby color, a lot of the big fruit has faded but there are still some good dried plum, pepper and herbal qualities. Structurally it is still outstanding, with vibrant acidity and soft, pleasant tannins. I was concerned that this was going to be past it’s peak, but was very pleasantly surprised. I don’t know if I’d expect it to improve at this point, but this bottle still had a lot of life left.

Wine was properly stored from purchase at winery upon release until consumed. Lovely fruit. Hearty red, pairs well with red meat. Worked with roasted chicken also. Tannins fully resolved. Pleasant now, but it is completely ready to drink.

Wine was properly stored from purchase upon release at winery until consumed. Inky in color. Lovely bouquet immediately upon opening. Lots of delicious dark fruit.
